Age at Home Australia will provide a report which allows individuals and couples to compare two situations; staying at home with support, or moving into aged care.

It can be very difficult to determine the right time to move from home to residential or aged care and to understand the financial costs associated with the decision.

Age at Home Australia can demystify the costs around staying at home and allow you to make an informed decision. The right support and information can often mean that remaining at home is a superior financial option.

Comprehensive information is provided regarding the costs associated with residing in your home for the remainder of your life expectancy. This information, teamed with professional financial advise, allows you and your family to make well informed decisions around your personal and financial circumstances. Commonly, deferral of entry into an aged care facility can yield substantial savings.

The Age at Home Australia team is available to facilitate a referral to services once you decide the time is right for you.
